Stanley Andrisse (born September 8, 1983)[1] is an American endocrinologist scientist and writer.
He is a tenured associate professor at the Howard University College of Medicine and Georgetown Medical Center. His research considers Type 2 diabetes, the pathways of insulin resistant states, and metabolic disease.[2]
He is the author of From Prison Cells to PhD: It is Never Too Late to Do Good, and director of an outreach program that supports formerly incarcerated people into college education.[3]
Early life and education
[edit]Andrisse was born to Haitian immigrants Pierre Frederic William Andrisse and Yorvoll Joseph in Missouri. Andrisse has three siblings.[4][5] Andrisse attended Rosary High School (now part of Trinity Catholic High School (Missouri)). While there, Andrisse earned an A-grade average in both the 1998-99 and 1999-00 academic years and played on the high school's football team as a running back.[6][7][8]
Andrisse has said that he made poor decisions as a young person, and he was first arrested at the age of 14. By his early twenties he had been sentenced to ten years in maximum security penitentiary.[9][10] During his time in prison he was part of a drug rehabilitation program.[citation needed]
Andrisse was an undergraduate student at Lindenwood University. He remained at Lindenwood for graduate studies, where he worked toward a Master of Business Administration. He was accepted to a doctoral program at Saint Louis University, and completed his PhD in 2014.[11]
Research and career
[edit]After earning his doctorate he was appointed a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University.[citation needed]
Andrisse is an endocrinologist at Howard University College of Medicine, where he studies type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.[11][12]
In 2017, Andrisse was named a Leading with Conviction Fellow by JustLeadershipUSA.[13] In this capacity, he works to reduce the prison population by 50% by 2030.[13] Andrisse's first book, From Prison Cells to PhD: It is Never Too Late to Do Good, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2021.[14] He established a nonprofit program to provide mentoring to current and former incarcerated people so that they can start building their careers after leaving prison.[9][13][15]
